Baby in Hair Clips
27-MAY-2010:
A couple of friend bought Em these hair clips when she was 1 month old and all these while I've been using them (once in a while). Until one day, I tried them on her. Em has a full head of hair ever since she was born, but the reason I didn't use the hair clips on her (and still don't) is because she could have grabbed them in her hands and swallowed them. My friends who bought the hair clips don't have kids, so I'm sure they didn't think of this. :-)
These photos were taken when she was around 6 1/2 months old. She is 7 1/2 months old now and had a hair cut (by her daddy) since then. She has grown up a lot since then too. Now, she is able to:
1. From a lying position, get to a crawling position, and to a sitting position, and then back to lying or crawling.
2. Push her self up to a standing position by holding on to furnitures, her cot or me, and back to a kneeling position and then subsequently to a sitting position.
3. Crawl properly (not caterpillar style anymore).
4. Remember incidents - for example, when I was washing the dishes while she sat on the highchair next to me, she kept blinking a eyes and shifted uncomfortably because previously water had splashed on her face. She's also afraid of the baloon and would blink and jerk when her brother hit the baloon with his hands. Had she seen a baloon bursting before? Not that I can remember but she must have experienced it somewhere. She would make noise if the baloon got hear her.
5. Distinguish people, for example, she would cry out if she saw her grandfather or myself walk past but would not cry out for anybody else.
6. Has started to develop separation anxiety and her grandmother is complaining that she can't leave her alone to do run her chores.
7. Still has 2 teeth since she was 4 months++. When are the others going to come out?
8. No problems with feeding and she is taking varieties of vegetables, fruits and fish. Her milk intake hasn't reduced but I've substituted 2 feeds a day with formula.
9. Still wakes up at around 4am to feed (or cry, whichever but I feed her anyway to shut her up). She has her dinner at around 7pm, then takes a nap at 8pm, wakes up for her last feed at 9:30pm before going for the long sleep.
10. Loves swimming now and has learned to kick and splash the water with her hands.
11. Likes to taste magazine pages, brochures, toys, clothes hangers, tissue paper, playing cards, spoons, tupperwares, plastic cups, iPhones, my shirt, envelopes and whatever she can get her hands on. Cries when we take the object away from her and will not let us substitute it with another object.
12. Likes to scream loudly when left alone or does not get her own way. Laughs (or rather a triumphant chuckle) when being picked up.
13. Cannot fall asleep at night without mummy. Mummy is going to Kuching for a holiday in July and she will have to get used to daddy during that period.
14. Generally a happy, smiley baby with very bad temper!
15. Is approximately 6.5kg and 65cm tall.
